Sad, it was a great state when I lived there as a child.
I left, and never looked back. My biggest regret is not leaving earlier. I was too stupid to know better.
And it’s especially sad that Illinois is where the great President Ronald Reagan was born, raised and graduated from college.
One year I drove through Illinois, from Paducah KY to Beloit WI & back. It consists of the most beautiful farm country I have ever seen.
But Illinois isn’t the only state with messed up government due to one overlarge liberal city. Too bad, I did enjoy the trip.
